Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#60

60. O Holy Spirit, one in power

O Holy Spirit, one in power,
With God Who reigns in highest heaven;
Come to our waiting souls this hour,
And let Thy heavenly aid be given.

Our souls are dark, for sin is there;
We strive, and find our striving vain;
For night afflicts us everywhere,
And all is loss, and nought is gain.

But Thou art Light of radiant glow,
And Thou canst fill our souls with cheer;
Come then, Thy glorious Gift bestow,
And with Thy presence bless us here.

Then, far from us shall night depart,--
Our sin, and sadness, doubt, and pain;
61
And comfort shall sustain the heart,
And peace our warring lusts restrain.

O, One with Christ, Thou Spirit blest,
As one with God Thou truly art;
Great Triune! be Thy power confest,
And Thou enthroned in every heart.
